Rampaging students of the Federal Polytechnics Ado Ekiti, in Ekiti
state, have set ablaze the institution's health center after a protest
that rocked the school on Saturday evening.
Oyevibes noticed that the action of the aggrieved students followed the sudden
death of two of their colleagues at the school's ill-equipped health
clinic.
According to sources, the two students were both from the
Department of Estate Management and died shortly they were administered
some drugs at the clinic.
One of the deceased, Oluwafemi Vincent
was said to have been rushed down to the school clinic following
complains of a severe headache.
Vincent, a final year student who was admitted to the sick bay was said
to have given up the ghost after he was allegedly abandoned by the
health workers at the clinic.
This, it was gathered, sparked an
anger among the students who took laws into their hands to protest by
razing down the school clinic.
One of the students who spoke on
the condition of anonymity told a SaharaReporters correspondent that the
rampaging students set ablaze the clinic due to alleged negligence on
the part of the clinic's health workers which led to the death of two
students.
"The students died due to negligence on the part of the
health workers inside the clinic and we have been complaining about the
lack of drugs in the health center.
"I think that was why they
(protesting students) decided to go on a rampage by setting the clinic
on fire, and some of us have already condemned that action.
"in
fact, as I speak with you, the school authorities are not happy about
this bad development and am aware a panel will be set up to unravel
those who carry out this dastardly act," he said.
All effort by OyeVibes to get the reactions of the school management over the incident proved abortive.
Also, several phone contact made to the Public Relations Unit of the school was not connecting as at press time.
But
a source in the management cadre told our correspondent that the
students have been asked to vacate the hostels with an immediate effect
while a panel will be set up.
